User Support Hardware Issues

I understand the concerns about (the lack of) microcode updates, but have a few questions:

  • If we make the ability to receive microcode updates a requirement, why didn’t we make the ability to remove ME a requirement too? … funny enough that would leave us with exactly zero machines.

  • What about certified hardware?

At this point one pretty much has to choose:

  1. (minimized) ME and microcode updates

  2. no ME, no microcode updates

Maybe instead of a requirement, we can document the trade-offs and indicate in the table which category the machine belongs to?
